With a global audience rapidly approaching half a billion viewers, the esports industry is projected to grow to $1.6B by 2021. Last year, tournament prize pools for the Fortnite World Cup and DOTA 2’s The International had values of more than $30MM, more than twice that of traditional sporting events including the Daytona 500 and the PGA Masters.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, key entities in the vast esports ecosystem continue to thrive and audiences continue to grow as events and tournaments move online. This seminar will discuss hot legal issues in intellectual property (broadcast rights, licensing, etc.), advertising and sponsorships (non-endemic brand deals, influencer contracts), player and team contracts, player education and recruitment at the high school and collegiate levels and gambling, along with some of the more common sources of disputes (noncompete agreements, exclusivity, rights of publicity). We will also cover the effect of the pandemic on future events and how these entities are adapting to a world where social distancing is currently the new norm.
